Is an online degree worth it?

Yes, an online degree is worth it. There may be instances where a traditional degree is more important, but this varies greatly based on your specific needs and career path. In general, online degrees from accredited, respected universities are just as valid as any other degree.

In recent years, there has been an influx of accessible, online degree programs that are offered through accredited universities but are fully online. The University of Arizona, for example, offers fully online degrees. If someone graduates from one of these programs, they simply have a degree from the University of Arizona, like anyone else who attended that university in person.
